In 2014, over 27,000 children were patients at Starship Children’s Hospital; 56 percent of them being under the age of six. Looking at the numbers another way, there were 48,494 in-patients admitted, 32,594 visits to the hospital’s emergency room and 66,402 outpatient clinic attendances.
The Starship National Air Ambulance Service of New Zealand recently took delivery of a King Air 350 to transport the children of its country to the national children’s hospital in Auckland.
